INTERNET -- 5 depressing links about life; 5 cynical captions.
As jobs continue to disappear, Wall Street remains weary. The same people that brought you the concept of cutting jobs to increase cash flow are hypocritically bringing you the next big line of thought in banking, and they call it jumping off the bridge because everyone else is doing it. Investors no longer invest in companies that are profitable but those that appear profitable to others based on the infamous "wire." If there was a hollywood celebrity stock trade, it might be more stable than the NYSE.
The presumed Secretary of Health and Human Services, Tom Daschle, says that healthcare reform is going to happen; however, like many of his predecessors, he has no idea what that means, see Bill/Hill Clinton. Does this mean taking on a Hawaii-like approach whereby all children are covered? Hawaii just ditched that program. Does this mean adopting Mitt Romney's "everyone must have health insurance or suffer severe tax penalties" plan? The socialist republic of Massachusetts is loving its quasi-universal healthcare cash cow more than its citizens. Fortunately, Daschle hasn't the faintest idea but believes that a nice glass of egg nog will help lead the way. Seriously.
David Murcia and his company DMG Holdings ran a pyramid scheme/money laundering business for investors, sometimes returning 300% in profit over the span of a few months. Pint-seized investors lost a combined $1B on false promises when the scheme failed at the point where most Ponzi Schemes eventually do, when they run out of gas...get it? No word on whether Murcia will receive bailout money to recoup the losses for taxpayers, almost 10% of whom were hurt in the devastation.
The days of the cute girl next door that your husband has a secret crush on have long past; rise the days of the old dude from Craigslist. Yes folks, that is right. People seek babysitters on Craigslist, and they get what they bargained for: a pornographic pedophile. Ever heard of seeking references on a person before hiring them to watch your 2-year-old daughter? This just in, Obama seeks change on Craigslist.
If you are an officer of the Salvation Army, you may only marry another officer of the Salvation Army. When did the Salvation Army become some sort of evangelical bigamist? Wasn't the mission of the organization just to help those in need? Something deeper runs beneath the SA, and, by golly, it probably runs back to Billy Graham.
